Impacts to COCC
Budget: Since these sub-committees have been operating informally since 2015, there should not be any
new budget impacts. The operation of the new sub-committees has minimal direct budget impact, but
indirectly, the time/effort of the committee members is a cost to the college. The larger and more
important budget impacts arising from a structured technology review process are: a) technology
implementations are better aligned with strategy and mission; 2) technology costs and resources are
known up front; and 3) COCC is better equipped to implement technologies that integrate with existing
systems, reducing cost and time to production.
Instruction: Instructional technologies that have been facilitated by the technology review process
include: CourseLeaf Online Catalog, Disability Services AIM software for student tracking, and laptops
or tablets that serve the student curriculum needs of Title III, Library, LMT, Social Science, Science, and
Automotive. These technologies have directly impacted faculty, staff, and students by providing
necessary instructional services while also closing gaps in COCC’s ability to meet compliance-related
obligations to students.
Students: Student-related technologies that have been facilitated by the technology review process
include: Degree Works Planner, Electronic Communications Tool, ETranscripts, Residence Hall
Simplicity reservations, and FYE Online Orientation. These technologies have allowed students improved
educational planning and enhanced student recruitment and retention.
Operations: Operational technologies that have been facilitated by the technology review process
include: R25/Webviewer replacement, COCC Foundation Award Spring, Emergency Notification System
replacement, Omni Update website upgrade, Qualtrics survey tool, Enrole Continuing Education
registration software, and Tableau data reporting tool. The impacts of these technologies are broad –
improvement of outdated systems, increased ability to award COCC scholarships to students in need,
better emergency communications, enrichment of community members, and boosting awareness of key
data points regarding student success.
